About The Course

4 lectures of 1.5 hours duration course (6 hours in total) are proposed and will provide an introduction of composites. It will describe the basic functionalities of composites, the various engineering processes used to design, analysis, manufacture, and test them. It will go on presenting the current methods of design and analysis of composite structures. The course will provide throughout the course detailed examples of case studies that have reached the industry to illustrate the challenges that were overcome for successful design of advanced composite structures.

Who Should Attend?

The course is intended for Engineers, Operations’ managers, Applied Scientists and Technologists interested in design of lightweight composite material & structure. Engineers, managers and scientists involved in design, assessment and management of a wide range of engineering structures will also benefit from this course.

Testimonials

We’ve helped thousands of professionals grow their skills and confidence. Hear directly from the people who’ve taken our training courses.

The course was exceptional, well run in terms of delivery of information, IT online course but seamless. Very interesting examples of temporary works failures applicable to the businesses we worked in. Break out activities / group examples worked very well and were again well managed by the trainer. Fantastic course, I will recommend to others! Best course I have attended in years!

Black & Veatch

The trainers knowledge was excellent and I liked his examples and how he could relate them to every day relatable examples that we could all understand. Coming from different industries and sectors his examples were a common ground. It was handled very well virtually and the engagement worked with his questioning and answering
